1969

Don Pogue angrily informs us that the College has fired Professor Jonathan Mirsky. Since we are unfamiliar with the merits of Professor Mirsky's dismissal, we pass along this information for your own digestion. Don, by the way, is practicing law in New Haven.

There has been some movement in the Class. Here it is. Andy Meyers is now found in Secone, Pa., via Philly and Beltsville, Md. AndyMcLane is camped in Concord, Mass. DougNichols - lo and behold - is here in the District of Columbia. Doug is a political analyst with the Government Research Corp. BobNichols has moved from Canaan, N.H., to Brewster, Mass. Brian O'Connor split Manchester, N.H., for Minneapolis.

Larry Parkhurst has set up shop in Olathe, Kansas. Bruce Piatt is a mile high in Denver. Hamp Rich has relocated - from Minneapolis to Apple Valley, Minn. Lonesome Jon Swenson has done it again - moved without letting us know. But we found him anyway in Canoga Park, Calif. (20903 Gresham St., Apt. B). Jon, Paul Vielmetti is in Portland, Me. Mike Ward has departed D.C. for Santa Ana, California. Steve Weinberg has moved from Hartsdale to Eastchester, N.Y.

Jeff Burnett has left Poway, Calif, for North Scituate, Mass. Bob Cole's haven is East Haven, Conn. Steve Davies has jilted Ann Arbor for Moritclair, N.J. Pete DeShazo uses his mother's Geneva, Ill., address. We are not sure whether Pete is there. Tony Donigan lives in Mountain View, Calif. Roger Frey has returned to Chicago. And Warren Ganmill is in Miami.

Turning to an old subject, Paul Baiocchi called about the letter written by Elinor Lipraan which appeared in this space in the February issue. Paul expressed gratitude to Elinor Lipman, noting that the comments in the column to which Ms. Lipman referred exhibited an "insensitivity" which is inappropriate in today's society. Paul expressed disappointment for the College.

In the interest of objectivity, however, it seems only fair to relate another letter which yours truly recently received:

Mr. Glovsky, In reference to the controversy raging in your column I would like to make two points.

1) If indeed your purpose was to imply that the lady in question is a featherbrain; reference to her attending Colby Jr. College would have been sufficient. Your only crime, therefore, would have been beating the point to death.

2) If, however, your intentions were simply to report the facts, I feel your choice of words should be defended. First, I am sure "munificence" was intended only to highlight the fact that all colleges are "very generous in giving" (Webster's New World Dictionary) degrees in light of the costs of education compared to tuition fees. Secondly, the suffix "ette," although sometimes meaning little, also refers to female. I am sure that you were only being prudent in trying not to offend those females who take umbrage when a masculine term i.e. bachelor, is used in reference to them.

I hope these observations will help to vindicate you and your column.

Sincerely, R.G. (Rick) "Will" Willets Rick Willets is a good friend of mine.
